For the puzzler who’s crazy for crosswords!

“Are you a puzzle person?” Each weekend, listeners on over 500 NPR stations worldwide tune in to hear Liane Hansen ask that question to a caller who is ready to face the challenging on-air quiz from Will Shortz, Weekend Edition puzzlemaster .

Even before Will Shortz was the puzzlemaster on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday, he was crossword puzzle editor at The New York Times. His love of wordplay is apparent in the clever clues and challenging puzzles that are featured daily.

This collection includes three of his most popular puzzle collection books; Will Shortz Favorite Crossword Puzzles, Will Shortz Funniest Crossword Puzzles, and Will Shortz Favorite Sunday Crossword Puzzles. Each book is spiral bound and each puzzle features Will Shortz's insight. Add a clever, 16-ounce ceramic mug with the Weekend Edition logo and a crossword featuring the names and terms associated with the show, and an “official” refillable mechanical puzzle pencil, and you’re all set to puzzle away hours with Will Shortz!
